Hello everyone,
Very recently brought a new camera, the nikon D5200. For my needs it is awesome. I am mainly using the camera to take photos of my kid, my students, and when I go to museums. Unfortunately, the one thing I have noticed is the fact that I really need to lower my shutter speed, open up my aperture, and raise my iso way to high with 1 to 2 stop of exposure compensation to get the right exposure. As a result I am getting a lot of grain. I could buy another lens to replace my kit lens, 15mm - 55mm, like a 35mm but I think I will have the same issues. So for my needs, I think I need to purchase a flash unit first before a new lens. I know Nikon makes excellent speed lights like the sb700 or sb900 but I cannot justify spending that amount of money without asking everyone if there are any good alternative that work well for my needs but will save me some money. I know yonguno makes some speedlight but I have been reading through amazon and apparently several people have been having issues with it syncing with their d5200.
Any advice, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
